As reported earlier, Manny Pacquiao’s match against Yordenis Ugas did not do well as far as pay-per-view sales were concerned. Now it seems there is even more bad news regarding the sales of the match.

According to a report by Kevin Lole, did 250k for PPV sales, which is certainly a disappointing number considering the expectations the match had when Errol Spence Jr. was supposed to face off against Manny Pacquiao.

Hearing #PacUgas did 250k for PPV sales. Nothing official released from PBC. Losing Spence made a significant difference it appears

Promoter Eddie Hearn spoke to The DAZN Boxing Show, where he revealed that he had a feeling Pacquiao would get defeated by Ugas.

“On about Thursday or Friday, I thought to myself, ‘I’ve really got a strange feeling Ugas is gonna win this fight.’ And I was gonna tweet it. But I thought, ‘No, I don’t just in case you look silly.’ And then when I woke up Sunday morning, I should have tweeted it. But I just think it’s very difficult. We’ve seen it time and time again, for fighters to adapt to a changing opponent, especially so late in a camp, I know that,” Hearn told The DAZN Boxing Show.

“Manny is super experienced. He’s boxed a lot of styles before. But when you’ve been training for Spence for eight or nine weeks, it’s different. And in terms of Ugas, it’s a different kind of stuff. So I think that he probably underestimated the opponent change a little bit, or how easy that would be. And he’s just not the fighter that he once was. It’s only Father Time.

“I’m not taking anything away from Ugas. He’s a good fighter as well. But Manny Pacquiao in his prime would deal with Ugas. And I was actually quite pleased. Although I do think it has a little bit to do with style and changing your opponent. I was actually quite pleased it wasn’t Spence in the ring with him because I think the bigger guy, the more destructive guy.”
